Has anyone else read the article below?

So far as I'm aware, hypoxia at birth and genetic inheritance are both significantly correlated with increased likelihood of a child developing ADHD.
However, this is the first I've heard as something as common as Tylenol being potentially linked to development of ADHD.
FFS, it's one of the only things a pregnant Mom has been told she can take if she has a fever - which poses a risk to fetal development, BTW.
We've known for decades that Tylenol is very hard on the liver - now there are additional issues to consider.
Alternatives?
Hoo-Hah to challenge the study cited in the article above?
Recipes you wish to share?

Please post now. :coffee:
